About Careers Launch

We are the team that helps you transform your future.

Careers Launch provides executive search and outplacement support for companies that need to fill critical roles, or support employees through job loss.

The Careers Launch team in a meeting

Experience on both sides

Our team has a unique blend of experience across multiple industries and geographies. We've worked on the internal side of talent acquisition and on the HR side of difficult business decisions. We know what good looks like: what hiring managers expect from a search, and what best practice looks like when a workforce is affected by job loss.

We believe that field experience, combined with our ability to deliver top-tier candidates and excellent customer service, is what sets us apart.

Our story

Careers Launch Talent Group was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Mesa, Arizona. In 2024 we merged with Signature Hire, a Phoenix-based talent acquisition firm focused on engineering, construction and manufacturing, expanding our executive search reach into those industries. The same year we expanded our outplacement practice, and in 2025 we launched a sports recruitment partnership with Sports Business Ventures.
